Everyone who joins the contest described above (had you cared to read more than the subject line) should be a "geek", or at the very least know who the hell Linus Torvalds is and his great contribution to computer science and the software industry. The fact that few of our nation's computer science majors (who are "geeks" by definition) seem to know him and what he and his compatriots have managed to begin--nothing less than a total seismic shift in the software industry that has even giants like Microsoft reeling--is a troubling observation that does not speak at all well about the state of computer science education in the Philippines. -- Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Official Website: http://plug.linux.org.ph Searchable Archives: http://marc.free.net.ph .
